Silver Star

late post again because my hands have been killing me. it turns out playing too much videogames is bad for you. oops.

anyway, i've been taking it easy the past few days to let my hands rest. mostly i've been doing a lot of reading! i reread The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett, my favorite book from last year, so i could go into the sequel A Drop of Corruption fresh. both books were excellent; strong recommend.

then, in a desire to read something totally different, i picked up The Serpent and the Wings of Night and read it in like a day or two, lol. i'm halfway through the sequel now and honestly, it's a lot of fun. i love goofy romantasy.

i've been in a reading slump for most of the year — i kept picking up books and DNFing them for one reason or another, so it's nice to be on a little streak now. i'll probably stick with the crowns of nyaxia series for a little while since i'm having a good time with them, but after that, who knows. maybe sci fi.

in writing news, i have hit my getyourwordsout goal for the year of writing for 180 days! about 160 of them have been consecutive; i haven't missed a writing day since the start of april. it's been really nice to consistently write again, although i have been pretty lazy about what i've been writing. i'm hoping to switch gears and work on a new original project soon.

in gaming news, i've been doing roulettes for my new relic in ff14, a bit of crafting, and some leveling of yet another alt. i've made some progress doing work for my fic archive as well; the content is nearly finished, so soon it'll just be time to code. i've sort of been putting it off, but i'd like to get it done this month.

i think that's it for now. on to next week!
